Between2Worlds [Story] 06/04

Hmmm… an uproar in the media regarding the existence of magic. Gah, we got so preciously little information! I wonder what the protests are about, exactly. Are people rising up against the use of magic? But no – if it’s become common, than even mr. grey-rock over there would know about it, and him playing dumb would just cause suspicion.

Hmm… perhaps those hooded figures really did come to this world to settle, exposed themselves, and now the government, shady groups and/or bad organisations are doing… something… with them that’s making the common folk protest on their behalf? We did see a group of creepy masked people chasing what looked like a spellcaster in the prologue. But... would people really care enough to actually go out and protest? Would they even know about it?
Or or… what if it’s the other way around – magic became a known thing, and people are scared now and are protesting for the government to do something to protect them?

And what does Athena have to do with it all, I wonder… because I’m betting three reaper gnomes that she is somehow involved in this whole business! :D
